Festuki

"Festuki" is an even shorter variant of "fiestuki" or "fiestuqi" - Spanish youth-slang for "fiesta" or partying. For three consecutive summers (2008-10), Mark John Ostrowski immersed himself in the Asturian party scene, attending countless festivals, concerts and raves all across this region in the northwest corner of Spain. The result is a glimpse into the youth culture of our times. Text by Diego Medrano in Spanish. 84 black-and-white photographs by Mark John Ostrowski. "This is a pull-no-punches collaborative effort that delves into the raw spectacle of young 'gods in the throes of suicide'. It simply has no peer in recent Spanish publishing history, and one must go back to the tandem of Colom and Cela to find a visual and literary tour de force of such calibre."
